Saw this stat on twitter and thought I'd share - trying to find some positives for the season and I think Hall is one of them...any news on him returning for forest game?

Regardless of the stats ( as good as they appear ) he has been our best centre back. I was hoping that he would've made a good pairing with Caulker as they had played together through the ranks at Spurs. That's for whatever reason never going to happen but he would've learnt a lot playing alongside Clint Hill rather than the current two incumbents ( Onuoha & Lynch. )

I really don't get the playing him in this false midfield position either. Play him in his best position. It's not rocket science.

Hall is out injured with tendonitis, I don't know how long that will keep him out for or whether he will be fit for Saturday.

I like him in midfield but he's needed more in defence.

Personally I'd cash in on Smithies if we can and invest in a CB and proper DM who will sit behind two of Manning/Luongo/Freeman.
 
I've liked the look of him on many occasions in midfield but I don't like that weird tactic when we have 5 at the back whenever not in possession. It seemed a bit overkill, watching Hall go into the back five as soon as the keeper scooped it up or when the opposition defenders and passing back and forth to each other right at the back. He should have marked players and kept position in the middle, thus preventing us being dominated there.
